***Crashed My 172***

[Ollie82.]

Insurance companies won't give a courtesy car unless its judged repairable it would seem.

My girlfriends friend had a new shape Beetle that engulfed itself on the side of the motorway. As it was deemed a write off the insurance company wouldn't give her a courtesy car.

 

[Plummer]

Gutting tbh!

Feel so sorry for you dude!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Cheers Lou

 

[Sarah]

**hugs danny*

will get there babes, but at least u didnt get hurt thats the main thing

 

[Fletcher]

Sorry to see that.

 

[carlos106]

Car can be repaired or replaced mate, at least you are ok, it could have been alot worse.

 

[BioHzrd]

Sorry to hear it mate, was a mint car !!

 

[rory182]

Gutted Danny, drove this myself and it was a minter

Clyde Tunnel can be very dodgy I hit slush coming out of it on a Kawasaki ER5 whilst learning lol my instructor shat it more than I did

 

[nick.]

sorry to hear the bad news m8 gutted for ya

 

[SammyT]

bad news mate, sorry to hear that

 

[rctempire]

Danny boy, not good mate.

Was a really nice car, potential for a life time ownership

The bend is the usual clyde tunnel, bloody annoying with solid walls eitherside and dodgy turn offs. Shame about the car, looks a mess.

Main thing is your ok.

 

[Vicky.]

Sorry to hear this! Know exactly how you feel to see your car in a state, it's horrible.
Hope you get it sorted soon as it was such a nice car!

 

[Gaz85]

sorry to hear that, main thing at the end is ur alright

 

[Ali]

Sad to see danny! I've done that bend at ALOT more than 30...Guilty. I'll think twice now!

 

[172Ben]

Gutted for you mate!

 

[rory182]

Yeah I generally start to accelerate there and pass a few cars on the outside lane there myself, will think twice too - especially on 2 wheels

 

[BREMBO]

Gutter man, it did look a good one and I know how you feel

The fact the truck was out cleaning the road seems a real issue though

 

[DIRTYPAPERZ]

Sorry to hear about that atleast you ok bruv.

 

[stoddie]

ouch.

at least you walked away,

twisted metal can be replaced - limbs cant!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Thanks guys, like said safety comes first, i suppose you dont think that way when your standing at the roadside looking at your pride and joy gubbed

Gutting, just gutting

 

[Marky_]

[Chris205]

thats bad that, amazing what damage can be done at so little speed if you have no control

I hope you manage to get something sorted out as that was a lovely example

 

[Curley]

Sorry to read this, hopefully you get it back to the way it was before this unfortunate accident

 

[Needster]

s**t, Danny. I feel for you fella. Nothing worse than seeing your pride and joy like that. Should have grabbed a few pics of the offending crap on the road. Would still have been your fault, but they may have helped your case a little.

Hope it gets sorted.

 

[Keano]

sorry to hear it Danny.

 

[Gally]

As per text Daniel gutted for you! Glad you're alreeet tho.

I had a incident a year back when something was spilt on the road I was lucky enough to control it just! Passed a 206 on it's roof 2 seconds later up the road.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Hey guys, just off the phone to the assesor and the car is being classed as an un-economical repair. He estimated the damage at around £4000 unbelievably...

It remains to be seen what the insurance company will now offer me for it.

Thanks for everyones kind comments.

Regards, Danny

 

[Gally]

Let me know what you get offered mate. I'll get a valuation from another insurance company for you.

Do you know the assessors name?

 

[iimushroomzii]

Unlucky mate

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Let me know what you get offered mate. I'll get a valuation from another insurance company for you.
